From the Paper:
"Michelangelo's fresco paintings on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel were completely restored by early 1994. According to art historians, Michelangelo's painting "is reappearing from beneath layers of extraneous materials . . . as if a window in a dark room is being opened to reveal a bright panorama" (De Vecchi 7).Michelangelo's work is characterized by the painstaking work and technique which evidences the highest level of craftsmanship that was "typical of fresco painters in the Renaissance period" (De Vecchi 26). The famous painter began his work by applying plaster and carefully choosing his pigments. Although his work was clearly that of a genius, it was also done very much in the style and spirit of other great Florentine masters like Domenico, Ghirlandio, and Luca Signorelli."
